[QUOTE="Monster Toms, post: 2325093, member: 116306"] Had a 6.5BR built a number of years ago. Smith test fired one round said all was good. Took it home, first patch down the barrel portrayed more than just a one shot test fire. Patch was torn and just did not look right. Scrubbed it clean started a one shot/clean break in. First three shots barely in a 4" circle. Took it back had it re crowned. scrubbed clean started over. All the while patches coming out rough. Same 4" group. Stopped by another gunsmiths shop and bore scoped it. 2" in front of the chamber was a big gouge 3/4" long 1/16" wide plus multiple other small ones. Assumption was the original smith did not clean the barrel prior to the one test fired round causing the bullet to push cuttings in front of it. Will never know for sure if it was a barrel issue or smith issue. New barrel and new smith that gun still shoots bug holes. [/QUOTE]
